11/01/2018 - KTOS Live Maintenance

* Multi-Hit damage display has been changed.
	Old: Damage was varied when attacking with skills that do multiple hits in succession, the variety of range the numbers could have were random.  i.e (Up to 777,777 Damage & is divided by the number of hits, each damage stroke was a randomly calculated value.)
	NEW: The multi-hit damage is calculated for each hit.(Dealing up to a maximum of 777,777 per hit.) The total value of an attack's outgoing damage is equally divided by the number of hits it can deal.
